Vitra Slide Tower, Carsten Holler, 2014

멀리서 봤을 땐 그냥 간단한 관측소나 전망대 역할을 하는 구조물같았는데 알고보니 미끄럼틀이었다. 천으로 만들어진 포대자루를 이용해서 타고 내려가는데 엉덩이에 불날 것 처럼 햇빛이 강해서 포기했다.

Carsten Höller "REASON" closes this Friday, September 1, at Gagosian West 24th Street, NYC. Don't miss out! "I find mushrooms incredible. But for truffles and a few others, they grow out of the ground as they ripen—in fact their sole function is to lift their spores out of the ground to be carried away by the wind. So why do they have this immense variety of shapes, colors, and constituents, some of them psychoactive? As far as we know, they don’t communicate with other mushrooms above the ground, and they don’t use these toxins to protect themselves. There’s something else going on that we don’t understand." —Carsten Höller http://fal.cn/t9nl
